Dr.Miles has been nothing but a pleasure to work with. He truly cares about his patients and that comes through on every level.

I stayed in the Womans & Childrens Hospital. The room was big and comfortable. The only thing is that I wasn't able to sleep because of the staff keep coming in my room for one thing or another. The food people coming in to give me food on the day I had my surgery. then coming in to collect my tray that I didn't have. This happened the next day also. So poor communication on that part, but all in all a nice stay.

I am seeing Dr James Harris in Wilmington,myrnfirst impression of him was he knows what he is doing and I feel very pleased with himrndoing my surgery.His staff is great and everybody are there for you and they will dornwhat it takes to help you with what ever your needs are.He has a great overall care rnplan for you before and after surgery.Hernhas helped me so much and his staff Sara andrnthe rest of his staff are great too. Thersa

Dr. Harris has a wonderful staff especially Sara who was my first contact when obtaining information and setting up my first apointment. She took care of everything!! My first appointment with Dr. Harris was very good, talked about my medical history and then stayed for a group meeting with him. At the group meeting he went over the pros and cons of lab-band and gastric bypass and all the details of both. Most in the room had already decided which surgery they wanted. Very informative and well organized.

I met Dr. Harris and his staff and immediately knew I made the right choice. They are the friendliest bunch I ever met. They hand you a packet and it spells everything out for you in order. Thats it for now will update again.

Dr. David Miles and his staff are really great. I include his staff because they are a big part of the whole process, Helen is very informative and she gets the job done. Period! lol... My first impression was gosh he's young, I thought he would be alot older. He takes his time with you and is very informative. Got a question? He'll answer it. Confused? He will make sure you understand whatever your concern is. I am only two weeks post op right now so as far as the post op aftercare I cant speak much on, however Helen did sit down with me at my first post op appt and she spent a long time with me going over medications, vitamins, etc... Overall I would give them a rating of 10 out of 10. Dr Miles showed his face 3 times after my surgery just to check in on me and talk with me. His bedside manner and surgical competence is awesome. I had no complications and was home in 48hours, if i had to do it all over again... I would. rnTanya Thompson

Dr. Harris is awesome. He is so sweet and personal. I was sorta taken back the first time I met him. He really seemed to care about why I wanted to lose weight and didn't make me feel bad about wanted to date again. rnrnrnHe is a great surgeon and cares about his patients health and well being.

Dr. Harris impressed me immediately. He is no nonsense, but has a good bed side manner. His staff is terrific, and everyone was very helpful to get my insurance to cover the surgery. The aftercare has been great, and his PA Meredith leads our support group. Feels like a family at this office.rnI have had no complications and feel Dr. Harris is very competent. I would recommend him and this surgery to anyone, it has saved my life.
